The Texas Lottery Commission hopes to have the eyes of Texans watching the lotto jackpot. The Texas Lottery Commission oversees one of the country's largest state lotteries, which has pumped more than $14 billion into state coffers since its inaugural in 1991. About 58% of lottery sales are paid out in prize money, while 30% goes to the state's Foundation School Fund; the remainder covers administration costs and commissions to retailers. The lottery offers numbers games and several instant-win games sold through grocery stores, gas stations, and liquor and convenience stores. Each store earns a small commission on tickets it sells.

The first Texas Lotto lottery began on November 14, 1992 using 50 balls numbered from 1 to 50. Due to declining sales of tickets, the Texas Lottery Commission decided to increase the number of balls to 54 in hopes of offering bigger jackpots to encourage more ticket sales.
